From June 27 to August 31, 2025, the Alpes-Maritimes transform into a vast open-air stage thanks to the 30th edition of the Soir\u00e9es Estivales, the much-anticipated summer cultural event promoted by the Department. More than 450 free performances will take place across 157 municipalities, offering a rich program ranging from music to theater, dance, and various other performances.<\/p>\n
Charles Ange Gin\u00e9sy, President of the Department, emphasized the initiative’s importance: “Culture has always been a key part of summer in the Alpes-Maritimes. A free, high-quality program that makes art accessible to all, rooted in a tradition born in 1995 thanks to Charles Gin\u00e9sy and Alain Fr\u00e8re.”<\/p>\n
